Theresa May said she would return to Brussels on Saturday for last ditch talks on saving her Brexit deal after failing to make a breakthrough with Jean-Claide Juncker. The emergency meeting on Saturday has been scheduled despite German chancellor Angela Merkel threatening to cancel the summit if there is no deal tomorrow. The EU insisted 'good progress' was being made as the two sides try and close a deal in time for a crunch summit on Sunday - but bickering over Gibraltar, trade and fishing rights threaten to derail the talks. Mr Juncker's deputy Valdis Dombrovskis warned that the summit would not definitely go ahead. 'For that we will need to have agreed beforehand on the political declaration on the future relationship and we are not there yet,' he said.

Russia's TASS news agency reported that Colonel-General Igor Korobov (left), the man responsible for coordinating the response to the Salisbury spy poisoning in March this year, has died.

Robbie Lea was found under almost 15ft of water in Lee Valley Park in Hertfordshire, after he had gone swimming with school friends in May last year. The Duke of Cambridge piloted an air ambulance to the scene as emergency services desperately searched for the 16-year-old boy. His mother Sarah Lea, 33, praised Prince William for his 'bravery' and for opening up about the 'trauma' of dealing with medical emergencies. Mrs Lea said: 'I can't thank Prince William enough. For what he did to try to save my son on that terrible day and for now speaking out on mental health issues.' Prince William said this week he was lucky to have worked for the RAF and the East Anglian Air Ambulance, because of their good mental health working practices. Talking to colleagues helped him to 'come to terms with the enormous sadness' of what had happened, he added.

The female was knocked unconscious by a single punch after spitting at his friends during a night out in the seaside town in North East Lincolnshire. As the clip begins, the men are heard telling the woman, dressed in a short dress-shirt, to 'f*** off' before shoving her away. She then shouts back them and spits in their direction - but as she goes to turn away she's sucker punched in the face by another man. The woman is immediately sparked unconscious and drops to the floor in a crumpled heap. The footage, viewed 50,000 times in less than day, has divided opinion on whether the female deserved to have been hit.

Meghan went to the Hubb Community Kitchen in West London to see first hand the progress made since the Together cookbook went on sale in September. The mother-to-be was greeted warmly by kitchen co-ordinator Zaheera Sufyaan (pictured) - whom she gave a big hug - and Abdurahman Sayed, chief executive of the Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Centre in North Kensington. Meghan, who has been making private visits to the kitchen since January, quickly abandoned any formality when she got inside. She threw her arms around each of the women and kissed them, chattering excitedly. 'Hi, how are you? Wow, it's so quiet in here,' she said, giggling. She added to a group: 'It starts from one idea and from this one idea starts so much. I'm so proud of you.' Together: Our Community Cookbook has since sold nearly 40,000 copies in the UK, raising £210,000.

The man, named only as Darren, was ordered out of Cambridge city centre for 48 hours and explodes with rage as he asks the officer: 'What's anti-social about sleeping in a doorway?'. He then says to the police: 'Have a nice day scumbags' before cycling off on his bike as his female friend admits they will ignore it, adding: 'We'll just have to lie low won't we'. The dispute is featured in the BBC Three documentary 'Fake Homeless: Who's Begging On The Streets?', which will be available to stream on iPlayer from Sunday night.

England fans defended the players and said the man behind the camera was hoping for 'five minutes of fame' as they labelled him 'pathetic' for trying to embarrass the young footballers in a London hotel. The man filming says: 'Ross Barkley (bottom right) and Dele Alli, (top right) acting like a pair of c**** in here. Embarrassing. Look at them, p***** as anything. Dele Alli telling everyone he spent 14 grand in here. ...Embarrassment, these are England players. Absolute disgrace.' The member of the public who filmed the row claimed it happened at a 5-star hotel in Mayfair (inset), central London, at '5 o'clock in the morning' and alleged that both footballers were 'p***** as anything'.

Glasgow City Council rakes in more than £1million a year from the bus gate at Nelson Mandela Place in the city centre. But last month, the restriction on cars and vans was suspended to allow streets to be shut off for the filming of Hobbs and Shaw, starring Idris Elba (left) and Jason Statham. However, when the restrictions were reinstated, someone forgot to move a sign (inset). The camera was active – and 817 demands for £60 started dropping onto door mats. The fine can rise to £90 if it goes unpaid after a month. Right: A stunt seen during filming.

Celebrities rushed to grab a piece of the Mayfair club as items sold to fans of the former central London venue included 'Mondiano' (pictured), the most expensive vintage poster ever sold by Christie's.

David Currie, 50, died in hospital hours after collapsing in a consultation room at Fletton Surgery in Peterborough on October 3 2016. His wife Caroline, 39, (pictured together with their twins Harriet and Eleanor) was oblivious to his fragile state when she arrived with a change of clothes for her husband and says she saw medical staff 'running around with defibrillators’. David had gone to the GP with diarrhoea and complaining of chest pains – but medical staff suspected gastroenteritis. Two and a half hours after he first arrived an ambulance was called when he became pale and breathless and paramedics gave him CPR. He was rushed to Peterborough City Hospital and he died at 3pm – more than three and a half hours after he first arrived at Fletton Surgery. Mrs Currie (pictured arriving at his inquest today), has said she sat in the waiting room for most of that time and had no idea that her husband was dying.

Residents of Hartlepool, County Durham, band together to patrol their neighbourhoods after police failed to respond to a spate of thefts and burglaries. Locals have taken to solving their own crimes on Facebook after budget cuts saw the number of frontline officers at Cleveland Police slashed by 500 in the past eight years. Politicians said police had ‘given up’ responding to some calls from hard-working taxpayers and warned that the situation is similar in towns across Britain. PC Kevin Sutherland shows BBC News around the unused custody building in Hartlepool, which has closed due to cuts (main) and the empty control room (inset).

EXCLUSIVE: Mr Attlee (inset), who was then the leader of the Labour opposition, secretly sponsored Paul Willer, now 90, who fled Hitler's Germany with his Jewish mother Franziska and younger brother Otto in 1939 (together left). But the former PM's family revealed to MailOnline today they only found out about him ‘a few months ago’. The refugee (right at home in Cirencester today) was among thousands of children brought safely to the UK and lived with the Attlee family in London when he was around 10. Mr Attlee never sought political gain from taking the little boy into his own home in Stanmore. Mr Attlee’s granddaughter Jo Roundell Greene (bottom image), a Lib Dem councillor in Somerset, will meet him for the first time tonight at a Parliament event marking the 80th anniversary of Kindertransport, which saw some 10,000 mostly Jewish children given sanctuary in Britain. She told MailOnline today as she left for London: ‘I think I may well cry when I meet Mr Willer. I’m feeling quite excited and quite emotional about seeing him'. She added: 'It’s moving that he has had such a long life and my grandparents have played a very small part in that – I hope he’ll tell me that he has had a happy life’.

Jessica Scatterson’s (pictured) friends called the police after she posted a picture of her foot and other harrowing messages on social media in the middle of the night on April 22 last year.

Handwritten notes and drawings, which included references to death and suicide, plus the name of her alleged bully, were also found.

Dozens of hopeful buyers have poured into Christie's auction house in London this evening (main, inset right) in the hope of trying to bring home some memorabilia from the world's most expensive private members club, Annabel's in Mayfair. The venue has officially closed its doors but that led to a frenzy of celebrities, including Rita Ora, Liz Hurley and Nick Grimshaw, to try and get their hands on some items from Annabel's. Among the items for sale include a 4ft wooden Buddha (bottom left) and the famous red sofas from the venue (bottom centre), which went for £5,250 and £6,000 in two different lots.

It is believed Mrs Bickley, who worked as a staff nurse at North Manchester Hospital before becoming a detective in North Wales Police, and her children were overcome by smoke as they tried to flee. An inquest heard how John Bickley, 54, was out at work at the time and came back to find fire crews battling the blaze in vain. John now lives in Farnham, Surrey, with his new partner Jill Barnes. The pair went to school together and reconnected after Jill (inset) came to the funeral of John's family.

Shadow treasury minister Clive Lewis was seen chuckling at his own joke as he reacted to a Conservative MP interrupting his colleague Anneliese Dodds made a speech during a debate. The controversial act caused an instant furore on social media where Lewis was slammed for 'mocking suicide' with the impression. Footage shows Mr Lewis sat behind Ms Dodds, smiling before making a fake gun motion and pointing his fingers in his mouth, rocking back and forth on the frontbench. Lewis previously made headlines last year when he said to a colleague at a Momentum conference 'Get on your knees, b****'.

EXCLUSIVE: Single mother Georgina David (left), 34, from London, had a baby son with her former partner James Reeve (right), who is the son of Lincoln Cathedral's lay Canon. She told MailOnline how Mr Reeve was initially supportive, but then left her at the hospital baby scan and she never saw him again. Mr Reeve, 37, lives in an 18th Century, 20-bedroom stately home worth at least £5m that has been in his family for generations. The Child Maintenance Service calculated that despite his family's vast wealth, Mr Reeve has no income as the boss of their polo club and so he is not legally required to pay her a penny in maintenance. A family spokesman for Mr Reeve said he believed he was in a casual sexual relationship with Ms David (pregnant inset), who lied to him about being on the contraceptive pill. Her vicar has written to the Bishop of Lincolnshire, who has launched an investigation over fears the situation will bring the diocese into disrepute

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 47, said the knifeman 'slashed' the straps of her bag as she walked through Brixton 'some years ago'. The attack was so violent his knife also sliced through her coat - but just short of her chest and neck. She spoke out as police chiefs condemned the ‘walk on by’ culture in Britain where many witnesses film violent scuffles instead of trying to stop them. Ms Reid said her violent mugging left her 'incandescent' with rage, adding: 'My instinct was to chase them down. I think it was red mist'. The mugger became so scared he threw down her bag and ran, she said. She added: 'I went to an ID parade but I couldn’t pick out who it was. I wasn’t focused on that in the moment. I wasn't really looking at him. I was just acting on instinct'.

The Eurosceptic conceded that too many MPs believed there should only be a Tory no-confidence ballot if the PM loses a Commons vote on the package thrashed out with the EU. Asked if his attempt to unseat the PM had been exposed as a 'Dad's Army' operation, Mr Rees-Mogg compared himself to the hapless lead character 'I've always admired Captain Mainwaring,' he joked. But he insisted the 'strength of feeling' was much stronger than the number of letters calling for challenge would suggest. At a press conference this morning Mr Rees-Mogg said 'patience is a virtue and virtue is a grace'. He warned Mrs May her Brexit deal would not pass Parliament after she had 'alienated' the DUP. His comments came as the number of confirmed Tory no-confidence letters stuck at 26 - well short of the 48 needed to trigger a full vote. The failure to reach the key threshold, days after Mr Rees-Mogg declared an all-out attack on Mrs May's Brexit deal, sparked bitter recriminations. One senior MP who has submitted a letter jibed: 'Where are these great titans of Brexit? The answer is, they've bottled it.'

Theresa May will fly to Brussels tomorrow night to try and finish her Brexit deal with EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker (inset top). The Prime Minister's mission comes ahead of Sunday's crucial summit with EU leaders that is meant to sign off the divorce. Before the trip, she is meeting with her fractious Cabinet today for the for the first time rebuilding it after a Eurosceptic revolt saw two resignations over the deal. Two ministers are still thought to be considering quitting amid a massive Tory rebellion. Andrea Leadsom (left), Penny Mordaunt (right) and David Mundell (inset bottom left) are thought to be the most restive in Cabinet. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt (inset bottom right) has urged people to get behind the PM.

Frank Suhadolnik, 69, has been inundated with CVs for ten available jobs at his new fish and chip shop in Darlington, County Durham. But despite receiving 300 to 400 applications, most of those offered work failed to turn up for their first shift. His son Robert (pictured right outside Haughton Chippy), 37, told MailOnline that 11 people in 11 days failed to show up for trial shifts. Despite many of them confirming on the day they would attend. Mr Suhadolnik and his family have been at the helm of Haughton Chippy (left) for more than ten years, and recent success has meant they were able to open a second branch (inset). But the experience of trying to find enough employees has been described as 'soul-destroying' by the family.

Samantha Webster said her vows from a hospice bed in Shropshire after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer just six months ago. The 33-year-old teacher died just days later, with her new husband Alec by her side.
